INTRODUCTION. 

USEFL'L   iiiliiniiatiiin    fur   ihu^e   interesteil   in    the   erection    of    artistic    as    well    as    duralile    Imililings.      Much    money    has 
heen    spent    on    large    buildings,    without    considering     progressive     ideas     of     constructinn.      or     good     architectural 
designing.      One    of    the    greatest    points    to    be    considered   is  the  scientific,  as  well  as   the  practical,   manipulation 
of  all   raw   material   entering   into  these  structures. 
Long  experience  has  taught  me  that  in  preparing  the  plans  and  specifications,  and  superintending  the  construction  of  build- 
ings, nothing  is  too  good  in  the  way  of  material,  and  1  spare  no  time  or  expense  to  secure  the  best  results  obtainable.   You  may  have 
an   elegant   set   of  plans,   and   it   the   liuilder   does   not    follnw   them,   the  owner  is  the  loser,  and  the  architect  has  to   shoulder  the 
blame.     So  many  of  our  profession  understand   the  theory  but  are  unable  to  ]iut  the  same  into  practical  execution. 

On  the  following  pages  of  this  brochure  will  be  foimd  suggestions  and  cuts  of  a  few  buildings  executed  in  my  office. 

The  charges  of  all  reputable  Architects  are  the  same. 

Yours  respectfullv.

new  Court  House,  which  cost  $45,000.  He  has  rendered  valuable  services  to  this  County  in  protecting  their  interests.  I  foimd 
his  plans  complete,  and  did  not  have  one  cent  of  extras,  above  the  contract  price.  I  found  him  to  be  fair,  honest,  and  prompt 
in  the  discharge  of  his  duties. 

I  do  not  give  this  recommendation  as  a  matter  of  form.  b;-.t    I   bclie\-e  true  merit   warrants  it.

Dear  Sir  : 

At  a  meeting  of  our  Building  Committee  today,  which  perhaps  will  be  the  last  held,  it  was  unanimously  agreed  that 
we  should  not  adjourn  without  expressing  our  entire  satisfaction  with  you  as  a  man  who  will  carry  out  to  the  letter  his 
contracts.  You  ha\e  intelligently  and  conscientiously  discharged  every  duty  and  obligation  imposed  upon  you  liy  reason  of 
being  the   Architect   of  the   new   Court   House   and  Jail   for   Anderson  County. 

The  Court  House  is  given  up  to  lie  the  handsomest  Co.mty  building  in  the  State,  and  our  people  ,dl  laud  their  praises 
of  both  the  Jail  and  Court  House. 

There  has  not  been  a  hitch  between  the  Building  Committee  and  the  Contractors,  and  both  liuildings  have  been  com- 
pleted  according  to  the  plans  and   specifications   furnished  by  you.  and  this  speaks  worlds  for  the  Architect. 

In  addition,  we  want  to  say  that  you  have  made  friends  of  this  entire  committee,  and  that  you  are  at  lilierty  to  refer 
at  any  and  all  times  to  either  of  us.  Respectfully,  (Signed)   W.    P.    Sne:,grive.   Chairman.
